Fun Stuff

Trivia:
As a word, "bakutan" (commonly translated as "explosive birth") does not exist in Japanese, but its two kanji are abbreviations of the Japanese words "bakuhatsuteki" (explosive) and "tanjou" (birth). "Bakutan" is a pun of "bakudan" which means "bomb" in Japanese. more

WORST of the series. All the other ones were much better., 15 August 2003
Author: rusties from Mississauga, Canada

Mewtwo stricks back was great fun for the fans. Pokemon 3 was my fav of the pokemon movie series and had great fun also. Number 4 had good graphics and again fun and for those that acculy got to see the 5th movie they know its good also. But number 2 was just BAD. I saw this with a friend knowing Mewtwo Stricks back was fun and i felt like leaving the theater halfway thought the movie but my friend held me back.

This movie has a super rushed script, crappy plot, bad acting, not even fun for pokemon fans out there. Lame to the max, trust me and see the other movies and not this one.
